To the Editor:

Thank you to all those who came out to vote this week. I’m honored to have earned your support for the Legislative Council and look forward to representing all residents of District 2 in the coming term.

Thank you also to all the candidates, volunteers, and others, no matter their party affiliation, who donated so much of their time and energy in the months leading up to Election Day. Newtown’s voters have sent a strong message with Tuesday’s results, and I am grateful for their trust, mindful of the responsibility that has been placed on us and excited about getting to work on behalf of this wonderful town.
